Hurricane Beryl, a Category 2 storm, has made landfall in Tulum, Mexico with 100mph winds and dangerous storm surge. The storm is expected to bring life-threatening conditions to the Yucatan Peninsula and southern Texas, with Mexico’s President urging residents to seek shelter. At least ten people have been killed by the storm in the Caribbean, with Jamaica and Grenada facing devastating destruction. In preparation for Beryl’s impact, Mexico has declared a red alert, closed beaches, and deployed thousands of troops. The United Nations has pledged $4 million in aid for affected countries. As Beryl weakens slightly to a strong Category 2 storm, residents are advised to take precautions and expect hazardous conditions. Overall, Hurricane Beryl poses a serious threat to the region as it continues on its path towards the Gulf of Mexico.
